Four Sci-Fi Movies That Should Totally Get A Reboot
In general I hate the idea of rebooting or remaking a classic movie. They very rarely are as good as the original and come across as a lazily made cash grab which is exactly what they usually are. I mean if a movie is considered to be a timeless classic, why else would Hollywood feel the need to revisit that story? Take Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes for example. Did anybody working on this movie really believe they were producing something special? I highly doubt it.

Top 10 Sci-Fi Movies of the 1960s
While the ‘50s were the golden age of science fiction, the 60s were just as influential in today’s filmmaking. Many of the great 50s sci-fi flicks concentrated on aliens and monstrosities of science, while the 60s began to evolve science fiction through new technology and ideas.

Top 10 Science Fiction Movies of the 1950s
The 1950s are known as "The Golden Age of Science Fiction Films," although many of these films are known today as “B” rated movies. They are riddled with corny dialogue, poor screenplays, bad acting, and amateurish production values. While many of these sci-fi “B” movies were unbelievably horrible by today's standards, there were some that shaped science fiction into what it is today.

Jodorowsky’s Dune: What Might Have Been
Frank Herbert’s Dune is largely considered the Holy Grail of science fiction novels. Serving as a cross section study of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion, it has not lost its relevancy. The scramble for the rights would culminate with David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation, but the cup he gave us left Hebert’s vision empty and almost ended the director’s career. However, an earlier production approached the futuristic envisioning on as grand a scale as the galactic stage the story covers.

Top 70s Sci-Fi Cult Classic Movies
Bored of watching modern day rom-coms and mainstream plots? You might want to put on some sci-fi cult classics from the 1980s. Audiences back them seemed open to some pretty far-out movies, and some science fiction films more than others became classics among a small, loyal following.

Kylo Ren is Too Emotional to Become the Most Powerful Sith Lord
When first meeting Kylo Ren, we hear the music of the First Order build up in anticipation as his ship makes its way down to the village. As he exits the ship and makes his way down its ramp through the blow off smoke of the door, he makes his way towards Lor San Tekka. This is the first hint we get at Ren having some form of emotional tie to the light side of the force. Lor San Tekka states that the First Order rose from the Dark Side, and that Ren does not come from the dark side. He says that he cannot deny the truth that is his family, giving us the idea that it is possibly in relation to someone who was or is a Jedi. So straight off the bat in this film we see a hole, or weakness if you will, in Kylo Ren's evil conquest. He does not let Lor San Tekka finish his thought about Ren's family, but strikes him down with his three prong, sword-like light saber.

So Ron Howard's Directing a Star Wars Movie...
In what might be a new record between rumor and official confirmation, Lucasfilm announced on June 22nd that Ron Howard would be taking over the directing duties on the (as yet still untitled) Han Solo Star Wars spin-off film. Howard takes over the director's chair from Lego Movie filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller who left the production officially days earlier due to “creative differences.” With less than a year to go before the announced release date and months into production already, Howard certainly has his work cut out for him. What might we expect from his entry into the Star Wars canon?
